What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a scientific method of treatment that is based on the
application of the law of similars. For thousands of years, man searched for
a method to enhance and restore health in the most
certain, efficient, gentle and permanent way. Samuel
Hahnemann, a German physician who lived between
1755-1843, while pursuing this philosophical and
scientific quest brought together a number of
discoveries and reflections found throughout the
history of medicine to develop an ideal system of
therapeutics. After years of perfecting this therapeutic
method, he called it homeopathy, by uniting two Greek
roots, homoios meaning “similar,” and pathos meaning,
“disease.” Homeopathy consists of treating sick
people with remedies that, in crude doses, would produce in healthy people
symptoms similar (homoios) to those of the disease needing to be
overcome. (Definition credited to Dr. Andre Saine)

Is Homeopathy right for me?
Since homeopathic remedies are prepared in such a way that they are safe
and free of all chemical toxicity, it is the ideal medicine for people of all
ages. This includes pregnant women, newborns, elderly people and
everyone in between. Homeopathy is also safe to use while taking other
medicines, such as pharmaceuticals or botanicals (herbs).
What can I expect at my visit?
A Homeopathic intake goes into much more depth than a typical medical
history intake and can last on average between 1.5 to 2.5 hrs. This allows
the doctor and patient the opportunity to have a comprehensive discussion
in order to obtain a detailed description about all of your concerns. This
also helps the doctor get to know you better as a "whole person" and what
makes your illness unique to you. The physician then studies your case
and prescribes a homeopathic remedy that is most appropriate for you. A
typical follow-up visit would then be scheduled in two to six weeks,
depending on the individual, the nature of their condition, and the patient’s
will. Follow-up visits are much shorter, typically lasting 30-45 minutes.

A homeopathic remedy is an FDA approved
medicine that comes from natural sources and
is prepared in such a way that they are free of
all chemical toxicity. Due to the law of similiars
(“like cures like”), what a substance can cause,
it can also cure. One example of this would be
coffee. Everyone knows how coffee keeps

(“like cures like”), what a substance can cause,
it can also cure. One example of this would be
coffee. Everyone knows how coffee keeps
people awake and alert. In homeopathy, coffee can be utilized in very
small (dilute) doses to cure patients with just the same kind of insomnia
associated with an overly alert mind. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s initial
experiments were with Cinchona bark, from which quinine is derived. He
found that if it is given in daily doses to a healthy person it can cause
symptoms similar to malaria. Indeed, this same Cinchona is curative in
many patients with malaria. Due to the process in which homeopathic
remedies are diluted, they are non-toxic, safe and free from the side effects
that are commonly associated with the use of pharmaceuticals.
Homeopathic remedies are safe for just about everyone, from newborns to
elderly persons. Homeopathy can treat both acute and chronic conditions,
from a common cold or sore throat to cancer. There are over 2000
homeopathic remedies and it takes an experienced practitioner to
successfully treat individuals with homeopathy. Only an experienced and
properly trained homeopath understands the proper remedy a person
needs, what dose to prescribe, when to change a remedy, dose, or
potency, and how to properly follow-up and manage their treatment.
